CB750 K5 Dilemma

(1/3) > >>

Brett72:
Evening all. I am in a bit of a dilemma. I bought a K5 frame and lots of bits. I have the title and the nova certificate but it is not UK registered yet. I have fully stripped the engine down which I have found out is a K6 and the case is away being vapour blasted.
My dilemma is whether or not to carry on with the project or sell it as it is with the bits I have already done to it and purchase a bike that I have had in the past that really has me interested.
Any thoughts?

K2-K6:
If you think of going to your garage in five years time to go out for a ride, which one would you like to find there?

Obviously I don't know the cost of either for you,  or what the other bike is.  Plus the attachment of a previously owned bike can be strong and we can be illogical (well it's all illogical but we know they get under our skin ) about these things too.

Which has the strongest pull once they are both road ready,  which would you get on for a sunny day out?

Brett72:
Thanks Jedi. it is sound advise like that that i need. I am slowly coming to the fact that i might have to let this go.

My thoughts are this; I bought a VFR800 brand new, the first bike I had ever bought straight off the showroom floor. I looked after it and swore I'd never sell it. After 7 years I did the unthinkable and sold it. Why, because I got a bit bored of it and wanted something else. You have to ask yourself why did you sell the bike you now wish to buy back? You sold it for a reason, if it was because you needed the money that's understandable. If you sold it because you got bored of it you probably will again unless it holds sentimental value. Personally I'd restore the bike you have as something different.

The bike i got rid of was a 600 SRAD and i replaced with an xjr1300sp. I still have that and love to do big trips on it which i used it for a 180 mile commute. The SRAD if i went back to it would be a small fun project and great fun to have small ride outs or even track days.
